If this doesn't send the NEA and AFT into fits, I can't imagine what will. Trump is moving ahead on a campaign pledge to get the states back into the decision-making over K-12 education...and get the overreaching, wrong-direction feds OUT.
QuoteThe order, dubbed the "Education Federalism Executive Order," will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and directs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures she deems an overreach by the federal government.

The Department of Indoctrination just took a kidney-punch with a lead pipe.
EXISTING added security costs for Secretary of Education Betsy (More Money Than God) DeVos --- more than $1 million PER MONTH, making her nearly as well-guarded as Trump himself (with or without the
Columbia Hooker Patrol Secret Service).

For those saying Trump hasn't done anything - this is HUGE.
The left reminds me of the Nazi brownshirts. DeVos needs the security.

Believe it when Congress passes it and he signs it. Sorry, I'm way too cynical here regarding the true enemy in this style of argument. Centralized unionized ANYTHING is wrong but never more so than one-size-fits-
us style from the top-down agitprop artists on our "educational" left.
The National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers (as well as various AFL-CIO or other union splinter factions) will become so virulent after this move that parents will find no choice but to enroll their kids away from public schools. Assuming they've been tardy before this.
Can't wait for the women teachers to be standing on street corners. Carrying signs, not waving at cars. WILL TEACH TRUTH FOR FOOD.
I'm waiting for the liberal courts to halt his e.o.
Kids getting a proper education. Imagine that!
